Member Testimonials

Real Results. Real Experiences.

Hear from members of The Logical Investor about their experiences with Sean Hyman, the investing education, and the guidance they have received through the newsletter, weekly videos, and member forum.

Zachary S.

I’ve been a member of Logical Investor since 2021, and in my second-ever trade, I captured a 25% return! I held the position for a little over three months, and it really gave me confidence in Sean and his advice on what to buy and when to sell.

Steve K.

I have been following Sean since around 2013, and I only recall losing on one stock during that time. It was a Chinese company that Trump had delisted, so we had to sell. I think it was around a 30% loss for me personally.

Since 2013, I would estimate there have been approximately 80 stock picks. To me, that is truly remarkable.

Steven L. Johnson

Since joining Logical Investor, I have enjoyed the forum and the interaction with Sean and other LI members, not to mention the newsletter, from which I have learned so much.

When I started, I still had a tendency to act on my feelings, which caused me to go my own way instead of listening to the wise advice provided by Sean.

In retrospect, I can see where I sold some stocks too soon and missed out on additional gains, and bought recommended stocks late after the price had already gone up. This reduced the gain on my account to less than what it could have been if I had simply followed Sean’s advice.

Through Logical Investor, I have learned to suppress my feelings and started trading in a logical manner using Sean’s system. I am seeing much better performance in my account now.

My annualized return on my Logical Investor account is 8.85%.

I have been with Sean Hyman for many years and will continue being a member of Logical Investor for many years to come.

Gary Ginn

I joined a newsletter that Sean was in charge of and have been with him ever since.

Before that, I had very little investing knowledge and had trusted others to manage my retirement account. I was so busy earning a living that I didn’t think I had time to learn what I perceived was a very complicated skill.

Twice, it cost me 50% of my retirement.

Since I have been with Sean, he has taught me essential lessons in investing while simultaneously advising me on which stocks to invest in to grow my retirement.

The investments that didn’t pan out represent less than 5% of over a hundred investments.

I am very grateful to him for all that he has done for me.

Dan Rush

I started as a subscriber with a 401(k) of only $140,000 due to life events. Since then, it has grown to $455,000!

I started a Roth at the same time and recently used $47,000 of it toward a rental property I purchased.

I want to thank Sean for his guidance through the ups and downs of the market and for teaching me how to evaluate a stock and read Elliott Waves.

The Logical Investor forum is a daily learning tool and gives you access to Sean in real time for any questions you may have.

I highly recommend Logical Investor to everyone I meet.

Eddie Kirby

I have subscribed to Sean’s newsletters and have listened to every weekly video and read every monthly newsletter.

Probably around 600 hours of video.

When I first came across Sean, the thing that got my attention was his obvious love for God. That was very unusual for a stock investor or newsletter writer, and I think Newsmax may have edited him a lot, but his love for God still shone through.

For the first three years, I didn’t invest much but just proved the system because, in the past, I had not done very well and actually ended up losing money. So, I was skeptical and very cautious.

I started with around $40,000. I keep very accurate records, and since the beginning, I have had 254 trades.

The reason for so many trades is honestly that I will lock in gains using the RSI, MACD, histogram, Elliott Waves, and moving averages. Then, when the price drops low enough, I will buy the stock back. Some stocks I have been in five or six times.

On my original investment, I’ve had profits of right at $100,000, with over $14,000 in dividends.

During this time, I’ve had four losses. They were BTU, CHL, DIA, and RIG.

If you follow Sean’s guidance, listen, and learn from the weekly videos and monthly newsletters, you will make money.

Also, actively being on the forum is very valuable. At the cost of one meal at a mediocre restaurant one time per month, you will gain better than a college education in investing.

It works, folks! This has been truly a Godsend for me and my whole family.

I have also learned how to evaluate the fundamentals of a company in order to know whether or not it is worth investing in.

The three most important things to consider are fundamentals, technicals, and sentiment.

Sean will teach you all of this and more, if you will just put in the time.

Cornelious Burns

I have been a member of Logical Investor since 2024.

Prior to using this service, we had a financial advisor for five years. My wife and I knew that investments were the way to go; however, our accounts had little to show for it in those five years.

After breaking ties with our financial advisor, I joined Logical Investor and shortly after, all other services.

In under one year, we have made more money in our investment account than in the five years of using someone else to advise our money.

This platform has tremendously changed our results, and we are forever grateful to be a part of a system that has sound fundamentals.

Robert Wideman

I have been a subscriber to Sean Hyman’s The Logical Investor since its inception years ago.

That in itself is a great testimonial!

With Sean’s guidance, based on his knowledge and expertise that he has accumulated over more than three decades, I have experienced almost all gains, many substantial, and very few losses.

It is truly remarkable!

His system is absolutely fact-based and therefore incredibly reliable and consistent.

I highly recommend it.

Jon

A long-time subscriber, I appreciate Sean’s clear and concise buy and sell recommendations, his weekly videos, and his monthly newsletter.

His win/loss ratio is absolutely astounding at one loss out of 50 buy recommendations.

His recommendations are timely and concentrate on sectors that are at a value that Warren Buffett would be proud of.

Diversity in the portfolio is broad and well thought out. He has had us in foreign stocks and ETFs, U.S. stocks and ETFs, energy companies, phone companies, precious metals and miners, currencies, and more.

Our account value has increased over the years at a rate well above inflation, and I have no regrets.

I highly recommend subscribing to his service.

Andrew Davenport

Good day, Sean,

I sold my first 401(k), also known as TSP, S&P tranche today. Made 13.5% in less than 10 trading days.

After learning from you, I have no issue if the S&P continues to climb because it is still overvalued. I will wait for another downturn around the 2200 range to put my first tranche back in.

Thanks, Andrew

Dan R.

My 401(k) brokerage account has increased about $30,000 over the last few months.

Well worth an annual fee!

Your new site is great, and I watch the weekly video as soon as it comes out.

Thanks, Sean.

Michael Moran

It really is an awesome system.

I was going through my brokerage account in my 401(k) and looking at closed positions by year. You could literally see the years before I was investing through your system, Sean, and the not-so-great returns.

Then, starting in 2015, you could start seeing the difference big time when selling your picks.

The subscription to you and your system has really been awesome and worth every penny.

There’s measurable evidence of that with the increases. I can log on to my 401(k) and see it.

I really look forward to the future and continuing to learn.

By the way, the new site really is awesome. When you click on the charts, they really pop. Those are some really crisp and easy-to-read charts now.

Mike

Of the 11 picks we have sold, I’ve profited anywhere from 13.55% to 58.34%, with an average overall return of 22.90%.

The overall time period ranged from an unusual few weeks to, I think, the longest being one year.

Not normal, but we took it happily!

Charles Hart

My GLD limit order executed today at $158.77, yielding a 29.93% return.

Now I have more cash for reinvesting.

Easter blessing to all our LI subscribers!

Gordon Steklenburg

Sold GLD.

31.5% return!

FusionDude

Thanks for that nudge.

I was updating all my records this weekend and noticed that I had purchased a position in my “unloved” IRA.

I set a limit order for $79 over the weekend, a little nervous that I was being too greedy, and it filled at $79.52.

14% profit in under a month.

Best return that IRA has seen… EVER!

Dwight Alexander

I decided to sell GLD as my return was over 30% and headed higher.

hved

Hi Sean,

I also have a 52% overall return on GOLD.

JoeCPA

Sean,

In your weekly videos, you often mention the value of staying tuned and paying attention to your Logical Investor service by watching the weekly videos, reading the entire monthly newsletters, and subscribing to email alerts.

So, in order to put your advice in perspective, I decided to do some number crunching for my own personal situation, the result of which I want to share with you and fellow subscribers.

Here are the numbers.

I realized gains on the sales of securities in the amount of $4,629, rounded.

During that period, I spent 14 hours and 36 minutes watching your weekly update videos and three hours reading the monthly newsletters, for a total of 17 hours and 36 minutes.

I rounded the time spent to 18 hours and divided my realized gains of $4,629 by 18.

The result is $257.17 per hour.

And that does not even take into account any dividends earned during the period.

Not bad, Sean. Thank you very much!

For the future, as I learn more and become a better investor using your system, my plan is to increase that hourly rate as much as possible.

Pat Calhoun

Hi Sean,

At your suggestion, I stopped tracking GLD for calls and reviewed your options write-up.

I waited for JPM to hit a buy signal, including the top of the Bollinger Band and being extended from the moving average, and purchased a couple of puts.

I just sold them for a 20% gain in less than a week.

Kind of nice to get that hedge with other positions being down right now.

If anyone hasn’t purchased Sean’s options trading write-up, I recommend it.

Once you learn that there is science behind it and a logical approach, you can lessen the risk and improve the opportunity for higher returns.

Just be patient and don’t go outside his boundaries!

God bless,

Pat

Hampton Adams

Locked in 34% gains!

This is my first win so far!

Thanks for the advice and knowledge from everyone, not just Sean.

There is so much more to learn, and the interactive forum has helped me so much along the way.

Chris Vincent

I locked in 25% on BBBY.

Took only ten days.

James Miles

Locked in another 33% gain on BBBY.

Roger

Since joining Sean, I have enjoyed over $160,000 in profits.

This number includes five losses.

Only one of those losses was from the UWR, BTU Peabody Energy, and the rest were from me making very novice, very emotional decisions.

I lost money on Apple, Netflix, Ford, and GM, all from emotional decisions and listening to the news media.

I’m still struggling with the emotional side of investing, but I am doing so much better than I did before joining Sean.

Hopefully, if Sean keeps beating it into my head every week or so, it will eventually soak in.

I’m not sure if it’s okay to talk about actual dollar amounts here, but I did in hopes it might help one person.

So, Sean, if that’s not cool, please just edit the amount out.

Thanks again for all that you do.

You and your newsletter FOR SURE MAKE A “REAL” DIFFERENCE.

Clarence Gilstad

I got in at $4.68 and got out at $6.80.

Thanks, Sean, for your great advice.

With the Word of God and your guidance, you have taken the fear out of my investing and improved my whole life.

Paul Bunker

Just sold BBBY (+34%) and USO (+22%) after holding both for four to six months!

Up 26% on my LI portfolio this year!

Sean, you’re the best!

While I know these are unusual times, just wanted to say THANKS!

Paul Bunker

Just sold KHC (+16%), which brought my total average LI portfolio up to 35% for the year!

Awesome!

Rebecca Leek

Sold remaining SLV in two accounts for 64% and 47% profits, respectively.

Very happy with results.

Thank you, Sean!

Earlier, I sold 50% and was waiting for an even greater increase, but read Sean’s comments about a gambling spirit causing a person to hold too long.

Decided it was time to hit the sell button and am glad I did.

I really appreciate investment advice based on the teachings of God.

Leslie Harvath

Out of PPLT at 25.19% profit.

Thanks so much, Sean!

Retire@65

Sold half SLV at a 60% gain.

The other half I am now at 125%.

PPLT at 25%.

Thanks, Sean!

AMick

I’m looking to capture the following gains:

  • USO: 36%
  • KHC: 47%
  • PPLT: 59%
  • SLX: 68%
  • SLV: 123%

These were all purchased during March and April.

I have already taken gains on BBBY of 123%.

Very grateful.

Fortunately, these gains will help offset my loss on CHK, absolutely NOT a Sean pick!

Watching the weekly videos and reading the monthly newsletters serves as a consistent reminder that I need to:

  • Follow a system and strategy.
  • Focus on value investing.
  • Keep emotional investing at bay.

THANK YOU!

Scott Pearcy

I have all three tranches set up.

I got in at $50.42 and set up the other two tranches on limit orders at $42 and $33.

Love to set it and forget it!

I don’t know about the rest of your subscribers, but I recommend your newsletter and service to everyone I know who is actively in the stock market.

I am pretty sure I have received about 10 times the value in knowledge over the cost since I started with you!
